Faster Than Light

Rubio is scheduled to speak August 23 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum in Southern California.

The speech will cover the proper role of the government. A spokesman for the senator said Wednesday that Rubio received a personal invitation from former first lady Nancy Reagan in January and felt the August recess was the best time to make the trip.

Following the speech, Rubio plans to join Nancy Reagan at a private dinner at the library located in the hills of Simi Valley, outside of Los Angeles.

A bit of fundraising is also likely on the calendar—though not with the former first lady.
